As I mentioned in my last post, I am lucky enough to live close to a great sushi restaurant. I’ve been three or four times, and each has been wonderful – the fish is fresh, there is enough variety to keep things interesting, but it is also accessible for the sushi-newb in that there are ample dim-sum type options, as well as cooked sushi rolls such as tempura prawn and crab.
The decor is Ikea mixed with your local Chinese restaurant, but the plating of the food is lovely – really clean presentation and interesting crockery. Another nice touch is that they give you green tea upon arrival. There is also a smaller Musashi on Capel Street which is hugely popular – this one is great in that there is plenty of room -the place would be regularly 3/4 full even on a week day night.
We usually get 1-2 dishes each and share – my favourites are crab and avocado rolls, and spicy tuna (though it does have a major kick). I also have a soft spot for the pork or prawn gyoza – it is just delish, and really pretty! This is definitely a place to try, especially if you are unsure about how much you like raw fish.
